Challenging the Palace

Just marvel at the Obama spokesman being grilled by of all people, NBC reporter Chuck Todd....



It takes a special talent to stand there and dissemble like that, even adding a lecture about Obama's personal  "transparency" while refusing to acknowledge former condemnations of people who associate with Donald Trump. 

However, it's somewhat refreshing to witness a left-leaning journalist being overwhelmed by what has to be a deep-down calling to find the truth even if the truth might hurt a bit--to the point of reaching the uncharted territory of interrupting his former colleague to prevent a stock talking point filibuster.  Carney was trying to defend Reid's tactics without defending them and he got called on it--by a friendly.  There may be hope for the MSM yet.

Then again, all this time spent talking about Romney's taxes or Reid's allegation is time not spent talking about the 8.246757 percent unemployment rate, the floundering state of GM, the war in Afghanistan, our policy in Syria, the national debt, tax increases coming for everyone next year, Solyndra or the other green failures, GITMO and the KSM trial, or Obama's many Executive Orders.  So there may be a method to the madness.

What's the old saying, even a blind hog can find an acorn now and then. I don't think there is much hope for the MSM.

They concentrate on the latest gaff (or accidentally spoken truth) and avoid talking about the real problems and solutions
